(Botanical Name: Alocasia x Golden Dragon, Common Name: Golden Dragon Alocasia)
Appearance:
A Golden Dragon alocasia is a striking hybrid plant known for its large, arrow-shaped leaves with prominent golden veins and yellow stems. It is a fast-growing tropical plant with an upright, clumping habit. Growing upwards of 8 ft tall in optimal conditions, this plant makes a stunning statement plant indoors or on a shaded patio.
Ideal Growing Conditions:
This Alocasia thrives in bright, indirect light and appreciates a warm, humid environment that mimics its tropical origins. Keep the soil consistently moist but well-draining, and avoid letting it fully dry out. Humidity levels above 60% are ideal, making it a great candidate for a humidifier or placement in a naturally humid space. Protect it from direct harsh sunlight, which can scorch the delicate variegated portions of its leaves, and bring it indoors if temperatures drop below 60°F.
Unique Qualities:
The Golden dragon is known for its beautiful golden veins throughout its large arrow-head shaped leaves and stems. The stem colors and wavy edge become more prominent as the plant matures.
Note About Variation:
Please note that each Golden Dragon is unique, leaf size and color will vary based on individual growth and seasonal availability.
